Re: piece of machinery
Looks similar to a can edge roller or cutter . The ones I remember could roll a can lid and seal it , used mostly for canning food . This is much larger .

Re: piece of machinery
I think it is a circle cutter.
You set the sliding piece to the radius and the wheel will cut a circle out of sheet metal. Mart. Edit: I'm not sure after googling images of vintage circle cutters. There's a subtle difference. Last edited by Mart; 02-15-2022 at 04:03 PM. |

Re: piece of machinery
Circle cutter for gasket material or rubber is my guess.

Re: piece of machinery
You put a grinder disc on it, that has a center hole in it.
Put the disc on that stud and move the stud toward the cutting wheel, and trim the wore out edge off the grinding disc, it's ready to grind some more. .

Re: piece of machinery
It's an auto body grinding disc trimmer used to remove outer bad/worn portion of disc to freshen up the disc and give longer life to the disc.
(the center pin should be 7/8" dia.)

Re: piece of machinery
That's it .I understand it once you explained it, I see where the disc fits over the stud sticking up & you can measure how much you wish to cut off. Jeez that was easy & any one can see that.

Re: piece of machinery
Can't say it is, can't say it isn't... I Have a very personal reason why I'm not looking to find out.
